Next up at Stage West is the regional premiere of “Are You Now, or Have You Ever Been.” On the eve of his appearance before the Senate Permanent Sub Committee on Investigations on Un-American Activities led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, American writer Langston Hughes fitfully attempts to compose a poem. As accusations whirl, censorships abound, and freedoms are called into question, this inspired-by-true-events, lyrical drama examines not only the tense yet necessary relationship between art and politics, but also the emotional and deeply personal connection between the artist and his craft in the face of oppressive power. Enter this Big Deal for a chance to receive a pair of tickets to the February 23 performance at Stage West.
